illegal enrichment [illicit enrichment] Explanation: ILLEGAL ENRICHMENT "Well, I think this is a growth industry around the world. You know, the United States is spending $49 billion a year on illegal drugs; and so -- we don't have all the drug addicts in the world; but we've got too much money that we're spending on drugs. And what we're seeing is that in many cases the principle source of illegal enrichment for Nigerians, Dominicans, Colombians, Mexicans and, indeed, our own domestic criminal organizations, comes from the drug trade. " www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/mexico/interviews/ mccaffrey.html ILLICIT ENRICHMENT "The U.S. and Illicit Enrichment--Some OAS countries have made illicit enrichment an offence under their domestic laws. The United States does not expect to establish illicit enrichment as a separate offence under U.S. law. One line of thought behind this position is that the notion may conflict with basic constitutional principals of U.S. law. In addition, a variety of U.S. laws and regulations, in their totality, reach the types of conduct by government officials that this provision seeks to address. For these reasons, the United States does not expect to make illicit enrichment, as described in the convention, a separate offence under U.S. law." www.transparency.org/sourcebook/27.notes.html Regards, Sery |

illicit enrichment Explanation: The Interamerican Convention Against Corruption - World Policies C.I.C.C. : Article IX : Illicit enrichment Subject to its Constitution and the fundamental principles of its legal system, each State Party that has not yet done so shall take the necessary measures to establish under its laws as an offense a significant increase in the assets of a government official that he cannot reasonably explain in relation to his lawful earnings during the performance of his functions. Among those States Parties that have established illicit enrichment as an offense, such offense shall be considered an act of corruption for the purposes of this Convention.
